Today I’m sharing a Moseley family favorite . This Southern-style grits casserole is one of my husband’s most favorite dishes and he would probably eat it every day, if I’d make it for him. This is actually my mother-in-law’s recipe and she graciously told me I could share it with you!
If you’re a grits-lovin’ family then you are sure to love this recipe! It’s a holiday staple in our household! Enjoy!

Recipe type: Side dish
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked grits
- 2 cups cooked grits
- 3 eggs, divided
- 3 eggs, divided
- 1 cup grated cheddar
- 1 cup grated cheddar
- 1 stick butter (not margarine)
- 1 stick butter (not margarine)
- A dash of Tabasco sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degree.
- Mix warm grits, egg yolks, cheese, butter and Tabasco with a wooden spoon, until everything is well blended. Pour into a deep dish.
- There are 2 ways to add the egg whites. When we were first married and I made this recipe I wasn't "cooking wise" enough to know what "fold into egg mixture" meant. I ended up doing it the "wrong" way but my husband loved it so I've made it that way ever since. Option #1 Fold the stiff egg whites into the cheesy grits.
- Option #2 Spread the egg whites evenly over the top of the cheesy grits, forming a meringue.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Serve it warm.
Okay, I grew up making them the “old fashioned way” on the stove (which takes FOREVER), but girl–these sound good!
Thanks Erin! 🙂
